Chapter 27 The Holy Child King XXVII

Zhang Juzheng didn't introduce Liu Shouyou to Qin Tai, and Liu Shouyou didn't seem to know Qin Tai and his wife. Zhang Juzheng asked his wife to entertain Qin Tai and his wife, and took Liu Shouyou into the study. Even Zhan Xiaoxiao on the side could see that Liu Shouyou and Zhang Juzheng were not allies or friends. To put it nicely, Liu Shouyou is Zhang Juzheng's subordinate, but to say that it is ugly, he is just a dog raised by Zhang Juzheng. Zhan Xiaoxiao glanced at her husband Qin Tai with doubtful eyes, and Qin Tai also knew that his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Zhang Juzheng has forced the cabinet chief assistant Gao Gong into a corner and completely controls the cabinet. This is not the end, Zhang Juzheng has already formed an alliance with Feng Bao in a high-profile manner, proving that he wants to meddle in the affairs of the celebrant supervisor. Now he has cultivated Liu Shouyou again, trying to control the intelligence department of Jinyiwei. It seems that Zhang Juzheng's ambition is not small, and his courage is even more than his predecessors.

Even the arrogant Yan Song father and son didn't dare to care about the affairs of the emperor's harem. At the beginning, their father and son maintained a relationship with the celebrant Lu Fang, and they did not dare to directly meddle in the affairs of Jinyiwei. Even so, it is still regarded as arrogant and domineering, and power is too concentrated. But what is Zhang Juzheng doing now? Not only did he have to control the court, but he also had to manage the emperor's family affairs, and even wanted to poach the royal intelligence department. If he succeeds, Zhang Ju is the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty in the real sense, a super man who says nothing about it. At that time, Zhang Juzheng is not a sound worm, not a lowly courtier, and really a powerful minister who rules the world with the emperor.

Qin Tai wanted to ask Zhang Juzheng what he was going to do? Zhang Juzheng wants to be Cao Cao, who is regarded as a traitor by later generations? Or is it Wang Mang who plots to usurp the throne? Or is it the well-known Sima Zhao? You know, none of these people ended well. But Qin Tai still held back, because now was not the time to talk about this matter. After the matter is over, Qin Tai must find Zhang Ju to talk about it.

Soon after, Zhang Juzheng and Liu Shouyou came out, but Liu Shouyou left immediately, and almost didn't talk to Qin Tai and his wife. Zhang Juzheng took Qin Tai and his wife to the study again, Qin Tai saw Zhang Juzheng's expression clearly, and knew that Zhang Juzheng had confirmed everything. Zhang Juzheng gave Qin Tai a piece of paper with some information written on it. The words above confirmed Qin Tai's conjecture, this matter is really not simple. The child's disappearance case is also secretly investigating, but there are no clues at all. Regarding the matter of the "Holy Child King", Jin Yiwei has no clue at all. It can be seen that Jinyiwei is not incompetent, but someone sent a message and did not let him check. Moreover, Jinyiwei has the responsibility of monitoring the locality, and local affairs must be reported to the capital headquarters at all times. However, in these places where the accident occurred, not only did they not report the news in time, but there was also a matter of secret agents disappearing for no reason. It can be seen that the other party was worried about Jinyiwei interfering, so he started with Jinyiwei one step earlier. Dare to infiltrate Jinyiwei and dare to blatantly deal with Jinyiwei, it can be seen that these people's skills are not small. For this reason, Liu Shouyou and Zhang Juzheng determined that these people are not simple, it is good if nothing happens, and if they do, it must be an earth-shattering event. So Zhang Juzheng decided to follow Qin Tai's arrangement and strike preemptively before the other party got into trouble. Zhang Juzheng was about to discuss his next move with Qin Tai carefully, and Zhang Juzheng also decided to help Qin Tai persuade Feng Bao to tell the secret.

While waiting for Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng told Qin Tai in detail about Feng Bao's past. Although Qin Tai had heard of Feng Bao from others and had personally met Feng Bao a few times, he was far from knowing Feng Bao as deeply as Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng's first is to trust Qin Tai, the second is to treat Qin Tai as his confidant and friend, and the third is to let Qin Tai get familiar with Feng Bao as soon as possible, so he told Qin Tai almost everything he knew about Feng Bao. This allowed Qin Tai to have a deeper understanding of Feng Bao as a person, so that he could better communicate with Feng Bao.

Speaking of this, Feng Bao is really a bit magical, it can be said to be a wonderful flower in the eunuch pile. Although it is said that eunuchs are people who have grown up in humiliation, everyone has some dirty things in their hands. Especially some of the big eunuchs, not only do they all feel guilty, but they also have a lot of lives on their hands. But there are not many people like Feng Bao who have had big ups and downs, and even fewer who have resurrected after being beaten down, and even fewer who have stepped down and come back to power several times. When Qin Tai learned about Feng Bao's experience, he had to look at this great eunuch with admiration.

Feng Bao's age is not too much, he is the first eunuch in his forties, which can be said to be a myth in the eunuch world. In the past hundred years, in addition to Wang Zhen during the reign of Emperor Yingzong and Lu Fang during the reign of Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houxi, he can be said to be the third. But who knows how many times Feng Bao behind the brilliance has experienced "risks"? Feng Bao was the last godson of the eunuchs of Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houxi, the "old ancestor" Lu Fangshui, and belonged to the junior disciples of the prominent Chen Hong, Huang Jin, Meng Chong and others. But Feng Bao's seniority is too low, and he belongs to the reserve of these big shots. According to Lu Fang's plan, Lu Fang belongs to the first generation, Chen Hong and Meng Chong and others are the next generation, and Feng Bao and others are the next generation. Lu Fang arranged the forces in the palace for the next two or three generations to ensure the continuation of his policies and policies. However, Lu Fang still underestimated the ambitions of these godsons, Chen Hong, as the senior brother, had long wanted to replace Lu Fang as the boss, and even Feng Bao, a small character, wanted to get ahead as soon as possible. Feng Bao concealed from his godfather and the "old ancestor" Lu Fang, and took advantage of his opportunity as the governor of Dongchang to misinterpret the meaning of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, implying that the person who carried out the "court staff" killed an official who advised Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi on the spot. This brought a lot of trouble to Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu and Lu Fang and others, not only Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was very angry, but even Lu Fang, who had always been very concerned about Feng Bao, was also angry.

Feng Bao didn't know that his life was hanging by a thread at that time. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi meant to kill the executor who made the decision without permission, and this person was Feng Bao. Chen Hong meant that he couldn't be so cheap Feng Bao, and he wanted to torture to death this slave who affected the emperor's mood. The other great eunuchs were also in various reasons and mentalities, demanding that Feng Bao, the "black sheep", be severely punished. Only Lu Fang understood Feng Bao's thoughts, Feng Bao was just in a hurry and wanted to show himself too much. Feng Bao not only has no bad intentions, but also is a good slave who protects his master's heart. Feng Bao thought that anyone who dared to be wrong to his master was his enemy, and he had to punish this person well. But I don't know that this official's starting point is not wrong, and it is a "stepping stone" sent by some people. Feng Bao killed this person, which caused dissatisfaction with the political situation in the middle of the court. Feng Bao is actually the "scapegoat" of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, and everyone's "punching bag". Lu Fang didn't want to ruin a capable and loyal child like this, in order to save Feng Bao's life, Lu Fang took the initiative to cooperate with Chen Hong for the first time. After everyone's "discussion", although Feng Bao's life was saved, his future was bleak. Everyone thought that Feng Bao would not have a chance to get ahead, and it would not even be possible to live long.

For the eunuch who made a mistake, neither the emperor nor the great eunuchs would let this eunuch have a good time. Although Lu Fang did everything possible to save Feng Bao's life, he could not avoid Feng Bao being sent to suffer outside the palace. Chen Hong meant to ask Feng Bao to repair the imperial mausoleum for Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, not only to do hard labor, but also to be killed and buried nine times out of ten in the future. Meng Chong and others meant that Feng Bao would be sent to the border pass, not only to go to the front line to die, but also to endure the personal insult of the border soldiers. The officials hated the eunuchs very much, and the generals hated the eunuchs even more, so almost none of the eunuchs who were assigned to the barracks could come back alive. These eunuchs were either killed by the enemy or toyed with by the soldiers, and became the best targets for everyone to vent their anger. Lu Fang came up with an even more unexpected idea, which shocked everyone present. Everyone thought that Lu Fang wanted to favor Feng Bao, but after listening to Lu Fang's words, everyone felt that Lu Fang wanted Feng Bao to live and die.

Lu Fang suggested that Feng Bao should go to King Yu's Mansion and go to King Yu to listen to the errand. Originally, going to a royal palace on an errand was the best place for a eunuch who made a mistake. But going to Yuwang's Mansion is simply a hell on earth for Feng Bao, and it is even more terrifying than going to the border barracks. First, King Yu is an unambitious prince, and there is almost no possibility of inheriting the throne. Second, the official who was killed by Feng Bao was actually Yuwang's person. Even if it is not the instigation of King Yu, at least this person has a deep relationship with King Yu. Feng Bao was sent to the enemy, it was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. Thirdly, Yuwang is very unhappy these days. Whether it was because his own people were beaten to death, or he was reprimanded in public by the father of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, or his son died young, it was something that made King Yu very angry. It is a common practice for the master to vent his anger on the minions, and it is common for one or two minions to die at this time. Isn't this tantamount to letting Feng Bao go to death? So everyone thought that Lu Fang had given up Feng Bao and wanted Feng Bao to be wiped out as soon as possible. Only Chen Hong, the senior brother, knows the good intentions of his godfather Lu Fang, which is saving Feng Bao's life.

On the surface, it seems that King Yu is more than his brother King Jing, not only is not loved by Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, but also his strength is far inferior to King Jing. Those who support King Yu are Xu Jie, Gao Gong and other clear streams, and those who support King Jing are Yan Song and his son. Everyone thought that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi favored King Jing and reused Yan Song's father and son, so they felt that King Yu had lost power. However, Lu Fang, Chen Hong and others knew very well that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi had already been very jealous of Yan Song's father and son, and he didn't like King Jing's arrogance. In contrast, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu secretly arranged teachers and attendants for King Yu, which shows that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu was very concerned about the future of King Yu. LĂź Fang and Chen Hong gradually became clear about the future development, and there was a chance that King Yu would inherit the throne. For this reason, they tried not to offend King Yu and tried to ease relations with King Yu. Feng Bao has already offended King Yu, and the only way is to get King Yu's forgiveness, otherwise no one will be able to save Feng Bao in the future. It's better to send Feng Bao to King Yu's mansion, King Yu doesn't dare to blatantly kill Feng Bao, if Feng Bao can get King Yu's trust, he will have a chance to make a comeback in the future. If King Yu is unwilling to let Feng Bao go, he can take advantage of this opportunity to show favor to King Yu.
